With the proof marks on the left side I would say this was originally a 1st issue then Weimar police. Since the 1st issue had no chamber marking the 1920 was added during it's reissue. The 1920 is a permissive stamp and not a true date. They also did not have a stock lug . Serial numbers were placed in commercial positions and then if reissued generally had military placement added. Looks like a nice luger with history. The small a on the frame is part of the serial number. (3038a ).Bill
